| Summary | "The Big-Town Round-Up" by William MacLeod Raine is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Clay Lindsay, a young cowboy from Arizona, as he embarks on an adventure in New York City after leaving his rural life behind. The book likely explores themes of transition, identity, and the clash between Western ruggedness and urban sophistication, as Clay navigates his new surroundings and interacts with various characters, including a young girl named Kitty and a group of unconventional New Yorkers. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the vast and wild landscapes of Arizona and the hard life of cattle herding, setting a backdrop for the stark contrast of New York's urban environment. Clay's encounter with the modern world begins with a dramatic moment of heroism when he saves a young girl from a rampaging steer, showcasing his bravery and instinct to protect. This encounter leads him to ponder the differences between his rugged lifestyle and the complexities of city life, including interactions with diverse characters ranging from wealthy New Yorkers to struggling artists. The opening chapters set the stage for Clay's journey of self-discovery, humor, and perhaps inevitable cultural clashes as he ventures deeper into New York's vibrant and often chaotic existence.
